Medical Xpress / Natural protein scaffold may speed bone healing by growing blood vessels at same time
For patients suffering from traumatic injuries that leave behind "volumetric" gaps—where significant bone and blood vessels are lost—the clock is always ticking. Without a nearby blood supply, cells in the center of a large ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasound turns anticancer molecule into deep-lung bacteria killer
An anticancer medication called TLD1433, a ruthenium(II) complex that has entered Phase II trials for conditions such as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, is now being repurposed to address one of the biggest public health ...
Phys.org / How bacteria use acetyl coenzyme as a building block in the formation of cells
Researchers at the University of Greifswald have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can regulate the production of the central metabolic molecule acetyl coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA). Acetyl-CoA, ...
Phys.org / Silver nanoparticles pave the way for precise DNA cutting and joining
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, enabling applications such ...
Phys.org / Horse owners' personality and attachment style shape how they interact with and care for their horses
A new study shows that horse owners' psychological characteristics, including their attachment styles and personality traits, are systematically linked to how frequently they ride, train, and spend quality time with their ...
Tech Xplore / Porous electrode design could lift green hydrogen output by limiting bubble buildup
Hydrogen could be the key to a clean energy future, but a tiny problem has been holding it back: bubbles. In a paper published in Energy & Environmental Science, a multidisciplinary team of UNSW researchers, in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Wonderwerk Cave bones reveal possible fire use by human ancestors 1.79 million years ago
The discovery of fire was a major milestone in human evolution, giving our ancestors a way to stay warm, ward off predators, and eventually start cooking food. But exactly when this first happened is still intensely debated, ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal large-scale quantum effects hidden in stacked atomic sheets
Quantum materials are a class of exotic materials with special properties that are governed by quantum mechanics rather than classical physics. Those properties—like superconductivity, entanglement and unusual forms of magnetism—often ...
Tech Xplore / Food waste beads could boost direct air capture by 10% to 50%
In order to stabilize global warming at less than 1.5°C in the long term, there is a need not only for a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions but also for technologies to remove and store hundreds of billions of ...
Medical Xpress / Autism may have two distinct subtypes based on brain connectivity patterns
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as autism, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social interactions, communication, behavior and the processing of sensory stimuli. Notably, ...
Phys.org / Salmonella genomes reveal 45 previously unknown toxins in foodborne bacteria
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered 45 new toxins produced by Salmonella bacteria, some of which are associated with foodborne infections. The study was conducted at the Center for Research ...
Phys.org / Even weak ocean models can provide valuable information for environmental forecasts, study shows
Oxygen depletion in the western Baltic Sea is not uncommon. Oxygen-poor conditions regularly occur in deeper waters, placing stress on marine ecosystems and, in extreme cases, causing fish kills. As ocean temperatures continue ...
